About Jan-Paul
Coaching Approach
Work Experience

Hi, and welcome! I’m Jan-Paul, a former McKinsey Engagement Manager with 5 years of experience at McKinsey. I have interviewed over 30+ candidates and coached another 40+. I have a passion for empowering others to succeed in the consulting world. Coaching has always been my favorite part of the job, and I’m excited to share my expertise to help you achieve your goals in consulting!

I specialize in coaching candidates who are going through the MBB interview process. I have particular experience with the McKinsey interviewer-led case studies and the Personal Experience Interview (PEI). 

Hi, I’m Jan-Paul Wiringa, a former McKinsey Engagement Manager and seasoned interviewer with five years of experience at the firm. During my time at McKinsey, I conducted ~30 interviews for Business Analyst and Associate roles and coached ~40 candidates through the firm’s official interview preparation process. I understand exactly what it takes to excel in McKinsey’s highly competitive selection process.

The McKinsey interviews are unique. Cases are interviewer-led, requiring precision and adaptability, while the Personal Experience Interview (PEI) is a deeply structured behavioral interview focusing on leadership, impact, and problem-solving. These elements often catch candidates off guard. As a former McKinsey interviewer, I can help you navigate these challenges with confidence. Together, we’ll develop tailored strategies that highlight your strengths and align with what McKinsey values most.

Whether you're tackling case studies or mastering the PEI, my practical, results-driven approach ensures you're fully prepared to stand out and secure the offer. Let’s work together to achieve your consulting career goals!
